I am going into my 4th year of RC flying an wanted to try and learn 3D starting this winter on my RF G2 sim. For someone who knows how to fly, what is the best approach to learning 3D. What should the maneuver sequence be, that is what is the easiest to learn to help you with the next maneuver that follows? Also I have been looking at both the Mini 3D and the .40 size 540 from Extreme Flight. Both are smaller size, which is nice for loading the truck. My plans are to practice all winter with the sim to just get the feel of what the sticks should do, then fly my sport planes and feel comfortable doing fast rolls and knife edges, etc with high rates, then move to the 3D plane with low rates and move toward 3D rates as I get better. I downloaded the oversize Cap from G2 sim web and it is a bit to get used to. I can tell most of you have been doing this for a while so if any can remember what steps they took to get better at 3D it would be great. I have found some good web pages and I am trying to learn from them also, but will take any tips on where to begin as well as if those planes I am looking at are a good beginner 3D plane or not. If any one knows of how to use the G2sim to get the most practice, as in plane ans setup to use that would also be great. I am not even ure about which surface I should be moving to correct or hold each position, but am learning.
Thanks
